MIES (Switzerland) – Paris 2024 Organising Committee and FIBA today agreed to work together on identifying a new venue for the preliminary round of the men’s and women’s basketball competitions,\u00a0which will no longer take place at the Arena Paris Sud.<\/p>\n
Paris will host the third Olympic Games in its history\u00a0in\u00a02024,\u00a0exactly 100 years since the last edition in 1924.\u00a0As Olympic basketball did not feature at the 1924 Games, there\u00a0is a huge sense of\u00a0excitement\u00a0and anticipation as France\u00a0prepares\u00a0to\u00a0host\u00a0the world’s greatest\u00a0basketball players\u00a0in 2024.<\/p>\n
Paris 2024 and FIBA have held positive discussions on the venue plan for\u00a0Olympic basketball competitions. Iconic venues\u00a0such as Place de La Concorde for the 3×3 competitions and\u00a0the\u00a0Bercy\u00a0Arena for the\u00a0final round of the\u00a0men’s and women’s\u00a0basketball\u00a0competitions\u00a0have been approved, with\u00a0FIBA\u00a0confirming that both venues will offer world-class conditions for\u00a0both\u00a0athletes and fans.<\/p>\n
A\u00a0venue review conducted in 2020\u00a0identified the Arena\u00a0Paris Sud (Porte de Versailles)\u00a0Hall 6\u00a0as a suitable venue to host the basketball group phase.\u00a0This choice was totally in line with the vision of Paris 2024 and the IOC New Norm which promotes a responsible approach in the choice of competition venue (95% already existing or temporary) and which is a fundamental commitment of Paris 2024 bid.<\/p>\n
Paris 2024 and FIBA have worked together for several months, however,\u00a0following\u00a0the most\u00a0recent\u00a0sporting\u00a0and technical assessments,\u00a0Paris 2024 and FIBA have agreed that\u00a0this\u00a0venue will\u00a0no longer host\u00a0basketball competitions due to its specificities.<\/p>\n
Paris 2024 and FIBA will continue working\u00a0closely together to identify a new venue for the preliminary round,\u00a0which will meet\u00a0Olympic\u00a0requirements\u00a0whilst respecting\u00a0Paris 2024’s guiding principles\u00a0on\u00a0environmental and budgetary\u00a0responsibility.<\/p>\n
Both Paris 2024 and FIBA are confident of positive developments in the coming months in order to provide the best possible setting for the world\u2019s\u00a0greatest\u00a0basketball players to shine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
